[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 147132, member: 704"] NDSportsman you hit the nail on the head. I have friends that don't post because they don't want to be bothered. I have read on other outdoor sites where some will say "I always ask". I know they do it out of respect, but the people don't want to be bothered. Out of respect don't bother them. Some will appreciate being asked, and others it will anger. How do we know which is which? When you hunt your home area you have an idea. Most of my hunting opportunities come from attending church, not driving into a yard. I have not asked, I have been invited. I suppose it's a hang up of mine, but I never could sell tickets to anything because I didn't want to bother people. Likewise I always felt like it was false friendship to drive into a yard and ask when I was looking to get something out of it. I have no problem visiting with the same farmer over coffee fellowship at church. I value those friendships very much. I value those who have asked me to come and hunt even though I often don't make it. Sometimes one should not put things off. One couple who must have asked me a half dozen times died of carbon monoxide in their home two years ago. I always feel guilty I didn't make it because they were really nice people, and I miss them. I don't wish life away, but I am anxious to see them again. [/QUOTE]
